Let Love Win by Daniel Kirkley- CD
The first song I heard by Daniel Kirkley was My New Dawn. I heard this awesome song on the radio. This was definitely a cut above the other songs they play on the radio. It was a gorgeous, powerful song. When I heard that song, …

Judas Priest is a heavily Sabbath influenced band that carried on the tradition of the overall attitude present within the British brand of metal.Their significance ranks right up there with the other important pioneers of Heavy Metal.When British Steel was released a brought a new found interest in the …
System Of A Down - Steal This Album!

Metallica - Sweet Amber (Song)
Sweet Amber is one of the tracks which appears on arguably Metallica’s worst record, St. Anger. Although I do sound very pessimistic just from the opening line of the review, I want to make it clear that St. Anger just wasn’t a good album at all. I know that …
Musiq Soulchild, Backagain
I love Musiq’s album Loveandmusiq, but I’m not really feeling this new album he has out. The album is selling like crazy, but I feel that it’s missing the great songs that would make it a great album.
I guess you can’t expect an artist to make a hit …
Debbie Gibson
I remember when I was still in high school. I first heard the song “Only In My Dreams” and i loved it instantly. I found out that it was from a young girl who was raised in Long Island, New York. I bought her first cassette …
Megadeth - Sweating Bullets (Music Video)
Overview —“ Sweating Bullets, another single and music video released by Megadeth for their fifth record, Countdown To Extinction, is a song whose lyrics deal with a mental disorder, dissociative identity disorder to be specific.

Sublime - Scarlet Begonias (Song)
Scarlet Begonias is a song by Sublime which is the tenth track to appear on their debut release, 40 Oz. To Freedom. I should mention that this is a cover of a pretty well-known Grateful Dead song which I’m pretty familiar with. What I particularly like about Scarlet Begonias …
Animal Collective - Alvin Row (Song)
Alvin Row is a song by Animal Collective and the final song on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with a dissonant sound from the start, I must admit that I’m slightly discouraged by this considering the fact that this is the longest song …
Krayzie Bone: Good VS Evil CD
The latest Krayzie Bone album called Good VS Evil is a musical masterpiece. This CD shows Krayzie Bone’s dark and good side. I think this is the best Krayzie Bone album that takes you deep into his mind. The productions and beats are very powerful and just great. Krayzie Bone …
The Beatles - Flying (Song)
Flying, an instrumental track by The Beatles is a song which appears on what I would consider to be their most psychedelic work, Magical Mystery Tour. Although I’m not really sure who wrote the majority of this song, or if in reality it was indeed actually shared, the song …
David Guetta (Musician)
The musician David Guetta is one of my favourite EDM Disc Jockeys. Even though he’s been around from the early 2000s, I only took notice of him when I really got into Electronic Dance Music in 2010 or 2011. He’s become one of my favourites because I find his mixes …
Tina Turner (singer)
When I was much younger, one of my favourite singers was the woman Tina Turner. These days, I still appreciate her and her music, but my appreciation just is not as strong as it was back in the day.
There were several things I had admired about this performer …
Issues, 1999 Album by Korn
I think that the 1999 Issues is Korn’s greatest work. It is the first album by them that I got hold of, and I was strongly impressed by the music. I was rather young when I got a hold of this record, it was before their 2002 release Untouchables, …
The Flaming Lips - Hold Your Head (Song)
Hold Your Head is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with some noise effects, actual instrumentation begins to come in after around twenty seconds to create an atmosphere which sounds pretty empty and confusing in …
What You Got (song by, Akon)
I listen to nearly all genres of music, but I do not have any particular artist or bands that I like. I just listen to what is pleasing to my ears. One of the songs that I have been hearing a lot for the past couple of weeks is …
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb 2004 Album by U2
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is a very strong album of songs. I feel a little anxious reviewing it because I predict that most potential readers have heard songs off this album, since it is U2 of course, arguably, the most famous currently active band in the world, …
Life styles of the rich and famous by Good Charlotte
Good Charlotte Life styles of the rich and famous is a song that I agree with in the sense that rich people have no right to complain that there life is hard because they don’t even have a clue what a hard life is. The part I agree with …
Primus - Jerry Was a Race Car Driver (song)
“Jerry Was a Race Car Driver” happens to be one of the more popular Primus songs. This song shows up on their 1991 album “Sailing the Seas of Cheese” as track number 5. Although it isn’t technically Primus first single ever (that goes to their song John the Fisherman) …
The Flaming Lips - Maximum Dream For Evil Knievel (Song)
Maximum Dream For Evil Knievel is a song by The Flaming Lips and the third song on their second release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with Coyne shouting the vocals, I must say that right from the start, I think the Flaming Lips introduce far too dissonant of a …
Cannibal Corpse - Stripped, Raped and Strangled (song)
Ah Cannibal Corpse, what a lovely band! This song I am about to review is entitled “Stripped, Raped and Strangled”. This song appears off of their album “The Bleeding” and believe it or not is pretty much a single. It happens to be the third song on the album, …
Celine Dion: Let’s Talk About Love CD
The liner notes are essentially just the lyrics, but it is pretty thick considering that there are 16 songs on the CD. I do wish they were easier to read. Give me old fashioned LP records when you didn’t need a magnifying glass to read lyrics.
Treat Her …
Animal Collective - Spirit They’ve Vanished (Song)
Spirit They’ve Vanished is a song by Animal Collective which is the first track on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with some ambient noise, the vocals gently come into the song just before the minute mark which deliver a melody which took me …
40 Seasons The Best of Skid Row
For the band Skid Row, their image may be best defined by their larger-than-life frontman Sebastian Bach and his powerful, soaring screams but one cannot dismiss the fact that the band’s over-all sound is the key ingredient in
making Skid Row one of the most noted rock outfit to ever …
The Rolling Stones - Dear Doctor (Song)
Dear Doctor is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Beggars Banquet. The vocals start in right away along with an acoustic guitar part and a slight harmonica as well which gives it somewhat of a folk rock sound in my opinion. Jagger’s vocal melody …
When 2 R In Love (by Prince)
This is perhaps one of the most underrated songs that Prince has ever written. On his LoveSexy album, this song is the epitome of intimacy. The lyrics have this way of getting under your skin. Perhaps it’s the quiet inensity of Prince’s voice. Perhaps it’s …
Baby 81 2007 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Well, I think that this album is good, but not as good as other BRMC albums, like their first record, “Take Them On, On Your Own”, and, of course, “Howl”, the latter, from my point of view, being their very best album.
To appreciate and assess this album (Baby 81), …
Natasha Beddingfield - These Word

Mr. Pitiful by Matt Costa song

Elliott Yamin CD (by Elliott Yamin)

Song : Speechless by Lady Gaga
“Speechless” by Lady Gaga is probably one of my favorite songs by her for the simple fact it justifies her fame more than anything else she’s recorded. Don’t get me wrong. I love pretty much all her songs but I think Speechless shows off how good her voice …
Not Just You (Single)- Cody Simpson
This song just came out as a single on itunes and it is currently free! When I saw this I freaked out, this has always been one of my favorite songs of Cody’s. I never actually heard it as a studio version before this song. I have only heard …

Pissed Jeans : King Of Jeans
In this third album, Pissed Jeans, a band who came from Pennsylvania, USA, still looks consistent. If you like the type of punk rock offered Jesus Lizard or maybe Butthole Surfers, you will really enjoy the Pissed Jeans. If not, you will feel lost, because the King Of Jeans …
Bob Dylan - Another Side Of Bob Dylan
Overview - Another Side Of Bob Dylan, Dylan’s fourth effort, continues in his traditional style of having excellent lyrics, basic instrumentation, and not so great vocal delivery. Despite the flaws in his voice, Dylan is really able to compensate for his lyrical talent, which is something he really showcases …

Metallica - The Unforgiven (Song)
The Unforgiven would be the one song on The Black Album which I would define as being extremely musically mature and once again shows an excellent example of Metallica continuing to progress as excellent songwriters. The lyrics to this song deal with this person cutting himself off from society …
Jimi Hendrix: Live At Woodstock

People Need The Lord (Stever Greene) Audio CD

Quiet Riot
In the country that I live in, not many people listen to rock music and heavy metal music. There is a small rock and heavy metal scene here, but most radio stations will rarely play rock music and hard rock music, and none of them have played heavy metal …
Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man (Song)

Suck It and See, 2011 Album by Arctic Monkeys
When I first heard this album, I was a little confused by it. It is just that I still had the memory of their early work, and I was simply at a loss as to the degree to which their music had changed since then. There are only slight …
